When I went in for surgery I weighed 239. Now I'm 223. The results keep getting better and better. Please follow guideline and walk walk walk. Can't emphasize that enough. You are making a great decision life changing

I had my surgery august 5th 2016 so we're very close date wise :-) good for you, definitely feels like I made the right decision for myself as well. BabyLurve24, my Dr told me to walk around my house as much as I could handle after the surgery. He advised that I not start with the gym, machines or weights till I was 6 weeks post op. Even then, to take it easy and gently build up to what I could do before. Good luck and all the best

Surgery was 8/24 and I initially lost 10 lbs. but nothing since. I do feel lighter, maybe losing inches but when is the weight start coming off? I'm still in 2nd week post surgery and can't keep off the scale. Any help friends?

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.
